PDF is the most common document type in which to share files. We send them around all the time; instructions, contracts, RFPs, proposals, even resumes and cover letters. When you need to send it back with notes, or pass it on to a colleague with the important parts called out, it can be tough to get your ideas across.

However, with so many PDF highlighter App options floating for Mac (10.15 Catalina included) and windows around it can be tough choose which one to use. Luckily, we found the best one for you.
